If five are to strengthen and increase the number of viewers for its channel it should use its strengths - i.e. it has nothing, and I mean nothing set in its schedule.
RTL (Bertlesman) should invest heavily into the channel - be innovative, challenge and most of experiment with different types of British programming and most of all it needs to compete with ITV.
If anything they should try to win The Bill from ITV and show it on a Tuesday and Thursday, to begin with a 9pm to grow the following, Also they should have their own home-grown soap and "popular" gameshows. It is from that base that five could then naturally grow its schedule like ITV has doen over the years etc...
Monday to Friday schedule then could look like...
1700 Home and Away f/b Five Weather
1730 Five News
1800 British Soap
1830 Gameshows
1900 Various British Programming
(including:- Tues & Thur 2030 Current Affairs Series', Wed 2000-2100 Magazine Series e.g. Fifth Gear,
2100 Monday, Wednesday, Friday - US Drama
2100 Tuesday, Thursday - The Bill
2200 Monday - Various British Series'
2200 Tuesday - British Drama Series'

2200 Thursday - Kick-off
2200 Friday - Five Weekend (based upon Central Weekend Live and Granada Upfront)

That's right Andrew, you keep fighting for it. How much will you be paying Talkback to keep it anyway? (PM me if it's classified info at this stage)
